Definitions

  • Oxygen bleaching is an established technique for sulphate pulp processing and certain branches of sulphite pulp processing, and has been responsible for reducing the discharge of bleaching plant contaminants by about one half.
  • the out-flow from existing bleaching plants can also be treated externally in treatment units connected at the end of the bleaching plant.
  • Add-on systems to existing plants primarily involve precipitation, adsorption, biological treatment or ultrafiltration.
  • Adsorption cleaning is especially suitable where large volumes of water containing small amounts of impurities are concerned.
  • the impurities fasten onto an adsorbent medium, such as activated carbon or an ion exchange material, which is regenerated after saturation; an operation which is, with today's technology, both expensive and laborious.
  • Biological cleaning is a technique which is also expensive, because the necessary lagoons often involve large investments.
  • Aerated lagoons in combination with ultrafiltration are otherwise an ideal solution, primarily because those substances which are most easily degraded can only be removed to a small degree by ultrafiltration. The easily degradable substances are thus removed more quickly in the subsequent lagoon with a more or less complete cleaning as a result.
  • An advantage of this method is that it does not require any chemical additives.
  • the normal sequence in a bleaching plant includes the steps chlorine, alkali, hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, alkali, chlorine dioxide, i.e. in the usual notation CEHDED.
  • the major portion of the discharge from the bleaching plant comes from the first alkali stage, E 1 , and this amount is also the easiest to handle with regard to volume.
  • Ultrafiltration of the discharge from the E 1 stage has been shown to function well in practice and provide improvement in cleaning at reasonable costs. Ultrafiltration is easily connectable to the E 1 stage of the bleaching plant and has obvious advantages over other methods.
  • An ultrafiltration unit consists of a prefilter for removing fibers and other suspended material in addition to the main ultrafiltration unit, which consists of a number of cells or stages coupled in series, in which the E filtrate is successively reduced in volume by removal of the permeate.
  • the ultrafiltration is carried out at an input pressure of, for example, 5-10 bar and the pressure drop in each cell is overcome with a pressure booster pump. By varying the operating pressure and the temperature, variations in load can be met.
  • the boundary for separation lies at a molecular weight of 1000-2000 and the concentrate contains high molecular lignin remnants and carbohydrates while the permeate contains the majority of the salts and low molecular organic substance from the E stage.
  • the present invention relates to a method of substantially reducing the chloride increase which is produced by the fraction of organically bonded chlorine after the incineration of the concentrate in the soda boiler.
  • the major portion of the splitting takes place during the first hours of the treatment.
  • such a splitting is used to reduce the percentage of organic chlorine in the concentrate to the soda recovery boiler, by inserting a treatment stage with alkali in the ultrafiltration. After a first ultra-filtration stage the concentrate produced is treated with caustic soda and is then treated further in a second ultra-filtration stage.
  • the sodium chloride formed by splitting with alkali is present in the permeate and produces upon recycling to the recovery system an appreciably reduced chloride increase.
  • the strongly alkaline, second permeate which also contains a relatively large amount of organic substance returns to the alkali stage as its alkali source.
  • the caustic soda is returned in this manner to the process stage which it is normally intended for and there are no losses.
  • a portion of the alkali is added directly to the extraction stage 1 without first having been used for the chlorine lignin hydrolysis.
  • the filtrate from the first alkali stage in a bleaching plant for sulphate pulp was introduced into the 12-cell ultrafiltration unit in an amount of 10 m 3 /t pulp and containing 8 kg inorganically bonded chlorine/t pulp and 4 kg/t organically bonded chlorine. After passage through 10 cells, 9.6 m 3 /t permeate was taken out containing 7.7 kg/t of inorganic chlorine and 0.4 kg/t of organic chlorine. This permeate I could be released directly as effluent to a recipient without causing any ecological disturbances.
  • the concentrate was treated with 0.1 m 3 /t caustic soda with a concentration of 250 g/l at a temperature of 100° C.
  • 0.4 m 3 /t permeate II was obtained therefrom containing 2.0 kg/t inorganic chlorine and 0.1 kg/t organic chlorine and 17 kg/t NaOH, as well as 0.1 m 3 /t concentrate with 0.5 kg/t inorganic chlorine, 1.3 kg/t organic chlorine and 5 kg/t NaOH.
  • the permeate II was conducted to the alkali stage E 1 as a portion of the volume of alkali required there, and the concentrate went to the soda furnace for burning and use of the alkali in recycling.
